.. yes that is considered "blunt" and makes use of weight stones eventhough I'd def. be slashing, cutting, and stabbing with it. Go figure.. or don't; you can't always make sense of things like this using normal logic. You just have to figure out what the the game allows or doesn't and that is the final authority. Oh well.

Fist weapons are considered blunt and this can be applied to them.

Comment by KraxisSingular

If you are a Hunter and use a Fist weapon, then this is the best single DPS buff you can get. Both the damage and the critrating applies to ranged weapons unlike the Sharpening Stones.

Comment by Antox

Fury warriors should always have two of theese on at all times, greatly increases your DPS. Unless you have a Shammy for WF in your group, in that case just apply one to your OH,

WARNING: DOES NOT STACK WITH WINDFURY/OTHER SHAMMY WEAPBUFFS OR WIZARDOILS

Since in patch 3.0.2 they rolled melee and spell crit together in 1 stat, i wonder if the +14 crit would work for spells as well. I'll do some testing later and report the findings.

I found that I was able to use the weightstones on my Titansteel Destroyer. Other weapons I get the message WPN LvL to low.

Whilst adamantite sharpening stones stop being allowed to be applied to sharp weapons at or around lvl 177, these weightstones are still allowed to be applied to weapons of lvl 200, or at least on 2 maces that I have tried them on at lvl 200, I don't know if they will be allowed on any higher lvl maces or if this is an oversight and will be pulled but at the moment it is swaying the balance between similar stat swords and maces toward maces for human warriors for example.

Remember that these stack with each other and apply the damage to both weapons. so even though it says blunt damage if you are using a sword and a mace, the sword will also be granted + damage and if you put one of these on 2 maces you get 24 dmg on each weapon and 28 crit., still a hell of a use in WotLK.

As of patch 3.0.8, it appears this item no longer works on maces which are lvl 200+

I discovered this after testing them on the PTRs.

Further more, patch 3.0.8 doesn't appear to be introducing any 'newer' versions of this item, which use higher level reagents.

Perhaps in upcomming patches we will see a replacement.

Why can't I use the Adamantite Weightstone on my Titansteel Destroyer as of yesterday's 3.0.8 patch? I get the message that "item is too high".

At the release of Lich King, temporary weapon enhancements (oils & stones) worked on items all the way to those requiring level 80 (I applied it to Totemic Purification Rod with no problems), this was changed by Blizzard within weeks of release. After much experimenting I found that (at version 3.09) the current cut off for using these is any weapon with item value of 162 (as rated in the Armory). Any weapon at or above 166 will alert the user that the attempt failed but will not consume the object. I was able to apply oil to a Levitating Dagger (BOE green) which requires level 75 to use.

Now, everything I have read has indicated that temporary, and on proc effects work while shapeshifted as of 3.0, however, these temporary enchants are giving some weird paper doll readings. When I apply this to my weapon, it shows a 12 damage increase while i'm in caster form, however, as soon as I switch to feral (either bear or cat), that +12 buff goes away, reverting back to the damage range I normally have without the weightstone.

Any insight into this would be great, I'm guessing it's just a display glitch, and once I hit 80 it won't matter anyway, but like others have pointed out, 12 damage and crit rating speed up leveling considerably.

Comment by kylep2

This shows that it applies crit bonus to ranged attack on the paper doll, whereas the "sharp" version of this enhancement specifies melee only.

Does anyone know if this actually applies crit bonus to ranged attacks, or does it just change the numbers displayed without actually affecting crit rate?

Comment by WoWThundahunta

In my opinion, you should always use items like these. Weapon oil, sharpening stones etc. They are extremely easy to make, and reasonably cheap on the auction house, and they give such an extreme boost.
